shared this earlier, I apologize for the delay with this communication.

[1] with quite a bit of exceptions [2] we have entered into
Feature Freeze [3] state. As usual, let me request Feature Leads',
Component leads' and core reviewers' help with sorting out the
blueprints - many have to be properly updated, and other (not
started/not
completed) moved to the next milestone. <br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">2. <span

Soft Code
Freeze and further milestones are postponed for 2 weeks.<br>
</span>We cannot declare Soft Code
Freeze until we are done with all exceptions. Based on cumulative
Feature Leads' feedback, we'll need roughly 2 weeks to deal with all
exceptions and perform the necessary level of QA, so we have updated the
Release Schedule with new dates for Soft Code Freeze (March <span
__postbox-detected-content="__postbox-detected-date"
class="__postbox-detected-content __postbox-detected-date"
style="display: inline; font-size: inherit; padding: 0pt;"><span
__postbox-detected-content="__postbox-detected-date"
class="__postbox-detected-content __postbox-detected-date"
style="display: inline; font-size: inherit; padding: 0pt;">31st),</span></span>
Hard
Code Freeze (April <span
__postbox-detected-content="__postbox-detected-date"
class="__postbox-detected-content __postbox-detected-date"
style="display: inline; font-size: inherit; padding: 0pt;"><span
__postbox-detected-content="__postbox-detected-date"
class="__postbox-detected-content __postbox-detected-date"
style="display: inline; font-size: inherit; padding: 0pt;">23rd)</span></span>
and GA Release (May <span
__postbox-detected-content="__postbox-detected-date"
class="__postbox-detected-content __postbox-detected-date"
style="display: inline; font-size: inherit; padding: 0pt;"><span
__postbox-detected-content="__postbox-detected-date"
class="__postbox-detected-content __postbox-detected-date"
style="display: inline; font-size: inherit; padding: 0pt;">14th).</span></span>
<br>
<br>
Another challenge is that we have quite considerable amount of Medium
Priority bugs. To ensure good quality of this release we also need to
fix as many Medium Priority bugs before we declare Soft Code Freeze, so
we greatly appreciate your contributions here. <br>
<br>
Thank you
very much for your continued contributions, your efforts are greatly
appreciated. <br>
